Its a fucking tragedy this game is (at least allegedly) so successful, right when EA was starting to look a bit wobbly with disastrous releases. Imagine a world where Apex had been another F76 or Anthem? I can only hope and pray it does burn out super fast and all of this player number BS is just hype/smoke and mirrors. It will be a truly glorious day when one of these big triple AYYs finally crash and burn and go bankrupt.
The funny thing is I saw a vid a few months back with a guy commenting on how the Battle Royale space is fully saturated and it would be impossible to make a new successful entry. I guess thats been debunked now, but I still wonder how long a life span this genre has, it seems like such a shallow and simplistic system for long term play compared to say the MMORPG genre (though that probably explains why it is such a raging success with normies and children, who are utterly incapable of understanding or appreciating depth and complexity in games).
